Standing in the lobby of Conquer Internet Cafe, Lin Feng and the other three from Room 504 were surprised to discover that more than half of the customers in the lobby were their classmates from Shangcai. Moreover, they were all here for tonight's E-Sports Club's recruitment tournament.
"There must be at least a hundred people here, right?"
After a rough count, Shen Zhuang couldn't help but click his tongue.
"Then there's going to be at least a dozen rounds tonight. Can they finish it all?"
Feng Tao shook his head.
"There's no need for so many rounds. There are only ten people in a match. If they can split into two groups and start at the same time, then there will be twenty people on the field. It'll be over in less than ten groups."
After a pause, he added, "There's no need for so many rounds.
But after everyone has played once, if someone performs exceptionally well, they might play another round to determine if they're qualified to join the eSports club as a substitute or main player. "
At that moment, Qiu Le was already waving at Lin Feng's group of three.
"Hey, Lin Feng, Old Feng, over here!
"Let's register first!"
After a member of the Esports Association completed the registration, Lin Feng and the other three from dormitory 504 also received their respective numbers, which represented the time and position of each person in tonight's competition.
"I'm in the third group, B field."
Feng Tao lowered his head to look at his serial number and reported it.
Qiu Le quickly added, "I'm also in the third group, but I'm in the A field."
Qiu Le looked at his number again and felt a little annoyed. "Sigh, but why did they put me in the ADC position? I wanted to show off my jungler —"
Feng Tao glanced at Qiu Le from the corner of his eyes and explained, "There are over a hundred people, and it's impossible to put everyone in their best position for every match. They definitely had to make adjustments. I didn't get the mid lane either, so I was sent to the jungler."
Shen Zhuang, on the other hand, had a relieved expression on his face.
"I'm in the second group, A field. Good thing I'm playing the top!"
Shen Zhuang was indeed fortunate. He was very lucky to have been assigned to the top lane position that he was best at. Otherwise, his original strength was only at Gold, close to Platinum. If he were to play any other position, it would definitely be a disaster for him.
Then, the three of them turned to look at Lin Feng.
"What about you, Lin Feng?"
Lin Feng looked at his serial number, picked it up, and waved it at his three roommates. "Oh, I'm in the fifth group, field A, jungler."
Qiu Le was envious. "Damn, Lin Feng, it would be great if we could switch places …"
Lin Feng scratched his head. "Oh, I don't really care."
Indeed, for a certain person, having a champion pool or a good position wasn't a problem at all.
Of course, everyone's serial numbers had already been fixed by the eSports Association, and it was impossible to change them. Qiu Le only said that casually, and after a moment of regret, he quickly pulled himself together.
"I'm fine!"
"The ad-carry is still the same!"
"I started my career as an ad-carry player back in the day!"
Everyone in the dormitory looked smug. Only Lin Feng was scrolling through his phone in boredom. He wanted to end the night early and go back to the dormitory early. It seemed that Sister Xue was commentating on the LSPL competition today. He had planned to watch the live broadcast of the competition for a while if he could make it in time.
… …
After almost all the freshmen had received their serial numbers, several officers and veteran members of the eSports Association gathered everyone together. Then, Vice President Deng Zhe walked up with a smile on his face.
"Alright, thank you all for taking the time to participate in our eSports Association's recruitment tonight.
I'm Vice President Deng Zhe. The competition will begin at seven o 'clock sharp.
"But —"
"First of all, let's welcome our eSports Association's president, Dou Zi, to say a few words!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the crowd burst into a round of applause, mixed with the excited chatter of many freshmen.
"Hey, the president is here too?"
"I heard our president is a Master Raiden?"
"F * ck, the Transcendent Master of Electrolux is very valuable!"
"I heard from a senior in the eSports Association that our president has the strength of a King."
"That's awesome!"
Amidst the applause and chatter, a boy dressed casually walked out from behind Deng Zhe. His looks were above average, but with a height of over 1.8 meters, he still looked quite handsome and tall. Everyone's eyes immediately fell on him.
Facing the fervent gazes of the freshmen, Dou Zi coughed.
"Ahem."
"Hello everyone, I'm the president of the eSports Association, Dou Zi."
"Welcome, everyone."
"Tonight's assessment of the basic strength of the club members and the substitute position of the eSports Association's team. Everything depends on strength. I hope everyone will do their best."
After a few words, Dou Zi turned to look at his vice president.
"Is that all?"
Deng Zhe wiped his sweat. "That's all?"
Dou Zi rolled his eyes. "I don't have anything else to say anyway."
The crowd was in an uproar again. Someone couldn't help but raise his voice and ask, "President, is the eSports Association only recruiting substitute members? Didn't you say we're recruiting main players too?"
Dou Zi turned back to look in the direction of the voice, the corner of his mouth twitching.
"Oh, I'm recruiting too.
"But they have to be at least Diamond 2 or above.
"If any of you think you're qualified, just show me your performance later."
His tone was casual.
But it was obvious that he didn't think highly of them.
Over at dormitory 504, Shen Zhuang whispered, "Sigh, our president seems to be as hard to get along with as the rumors say …"
Feng Tao and Qiu Le nodded subconsciously.
Lin Feng glanced at Dou Zi in front of him and subconsciously scratched his head.
Dou … Zi?
He didn't know why, but the name sounded a little familiar.
…
The president of the eSports Association said a few words irresponsibly and then didn't bother to continue. As the vice president, Deng Zhe had no choice but to take over and explain the rules of tonight's preliminaries.
"Starting at 7 o 'clock, each group will have two matches at the same time.
"Everyone, get ready to go on stage according to the position written on your serial number paper. Then, we will arrange for the corresponding officers or main players of the team to evaluate each student's performance in real time.
"Students who have finished their matches, don't be in a hurry to leave. If you perform well enough, we will send the corresponding personnel to find you. You may have to play a special team selection competition after all the preliminaries are over."
After that, Deng Zhe looked at the group of impatient freshmen and smiled.
"Okay."
"Then, let's start the competition."
There were excited shouts and cheers from the crowd. Then, the students in the first group of two matches were led by a few Esports Association officers to their respective seats to prepare for the match. The other students who hadn't had their turn yet also swarmed to their seats.
"Let's go, let's go!"
Qiu Le was also impatient. He dragged his roommates to the competition venue.
"Let's see how good the others are first!"
"Little brother Lin Feng, are you at the internet cafe yet?"
